Heading North and west, out of So. Sioux City Ne. even the most well travelled will marvel at not only the topography, but also how verdant and fertile this valley along the Lewis and Clark trail really is. The rhythm to the hills and dales, of this region, is fractal randomness at it's finest. Traveling farther west on route 12, it isn't until about 20 miles from the course does the flora start to show a different, slightly more arid hue, and, the canvas starts to stretch out. While still rolling, the hills take on a more repeatable pattern. Paul Albanese and partner did a nice job of giving Tatanka an ebb and flow that builds in both challenge and beauty as the round progresses. The course does require the golfer's complete attention, even from the forward teeing grounds. With better than average firmness, centerline hazards, frequent elevation changes, and varied stance and lies, all levels of player will have an enjoyable challenge if not ridiculously errant. Should one be fortunate to catch it with a nice breeze, the ample width provided will be much appreciated. The greens are a nice mix of looks, many with enough macro movement to have serious strategic merit. As already noted, the box store look of the Casino building is the biggest negative to the visual feast, but it's only an eye sore on arriving and coming up 9 and 18. Easily forgotten as you leave the parking lot. All in all worth the trip and a fine addition to Nebraska's ever growing golf mecca.
